  Learn English words easily and recall them quickly with Word Builder! Word Builder is a fun, simple and enjoyable crossword game. It makes learning easy by presenting groups of words that share important characteristics. It also provides self-assessment, is a source of words, and an excellent way to improve your vocabulary.

This Word Builder is an essential tool for properly learning and studying the English language. The more you play, the more words you can recall in each group, and the whole process becomes faster. It is like living in a town – the longer you live there the better you know the area!

Many people have difficulty remembering new words. Very often they say, “If I only could remember the first letter!”. With the help of Vocabulary Builder, you will learn this trick. You will remember not just the first one or two letters, but – will remember the three letters! Thus, you will learn the prefixes for every word in the English vocabulary. “What an impossible task” you may be thinking. It's true; there are many prefixes, about 1200 to be precise. With the Vocabulary Builder, though you will learn a way to learn them quickly and painlessly with fun and enjoyment.

This revolutionary method was patented on the 23rd of June, 2004

UK Patent GB 2396 306 A.

To check for yourself if the system will work for you then, write down as many words as you can that start with the letters BA. Learn about Fohandnag's System and then compare your results. You will be surprised how powerful the System is.

The Vocabulary Builder is put together quite simply. It has 84 groups of words that go together. These groups are divided according to the second, rather than the first letter of the word – a more defining feature of the overall shape of any word. These groups are arranged in 12 rows, one beneath the other. Each row has seven groups. In this way we have created a table with 84 groups of words.

Table

In the illustration above, the first row has seven groups of words that start with BA, BE, BI, BO, BU, BR and words with the second letter B. This shows you how to group your vocabulary. Some of groups have a question mark in front of the letter, which may represent any letter of the alphabet. Question marks in front of vowels such as A, E, I, O, U and in front of letter R also represent any letter of the alphabet except B, C, D, F, L, M, P, R, S, T, which are already represented in the table.

Our table has one more feature that helps you to remember the third letter. Here's how. Each group has exactly the same base build form third letters as shown on the illustration.

Base     Mark

This base has 25 small squares, each representing a single letter of the alphabet (the last square includes both Q and Z). Try to remember the place of these letters, as they are exactly the same for all groups. It will be easier to remember the position of letters if you divide the squares into five rows as follows:

Row 1: B, C, D, F and L

Row 2: M, P, R, S and T

Row 3: A, E, I, O and U

Row 4: N, G, H, J and K

Row 5: V, W, X, Y and Q, Z

If you manage to learn these letter/row combinations, you have created 2100 of groups in your mind!!! (84 groups x 25 squares).

Your brain will remember and recall words easily because they will not be imprinted into your nerve cells randomly, but in a logical way. This creates a modern way of learning English vocabulary.

Next you will learn the third letters in the first group of words. Now check if there are any words that start with BA and have B on the third place. When you are just beginning, it may be difficult to find words quickly. Once you learn words such as: babble, babe, baboon, baby and babyish, then you will mark the square with colour. The colour indicates you are sure there are some words that start with BAB. As you check each square, you will learn which groups “have” words and which do not. This way, you have created a visual mark, like the one pictured above.

Now try to associate the coloured marks with a picture in your mind. For me, this mark is similar to a letter E. It helped me to remember all third letters in this group. At this point you know not only the two first letters of many words, but the first three letters. Now let's learn some more words from the first group – which start with letters BA. To assist you, go to our online lesson below.

First determine if you remember all the third letters in this group by clicking on the squares. Every time you click on a correct square, the words will be displayed. Try to memorise them. If you read these groups of words several times, you will easily recall them later on without difficulty. When you finish playing, clear the picture. The next time you play, try typing in the box on the right of the puzzle board one word for each square. After you've completed this task then you have successfully finished the first step of learning.

Next try to type two words for each square. Then three, four and five. In this way you will eliminate all solitary and small groups of words. You will notice that there are still a few groups with more than five words that share the same first three letters. Learn these words to significantly strengthen your vocabulary. Now you can see for yourself how powerful this system is!
